Donald H. Austin
Donald H. Austin, who grew up in Rhinelander and returned every summer, passed away on April 29, 2020, after a brief struggle with COVID-19. He was born on Christmas Day, 1925, in Indianapolis, Ind., to Ralph Vernon Austin and Helen Mayo Austin. His father, a Disciples of Christ minister who served a small church north of downtown, lost his position after he objected to a Klan-affiliated initiative to declare the local neighborhood an all-white area.
